Bubba 460 Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 The tip of a log stuck out of the surface 60 yards off a point in 8 feet of water. I cast a Texas rigged 10" ribbon tail worm to the left side and slowly brought it back with no takers. I then cast it to the right side of the log and let it sink. I had just started a slow drag/hop retrieve when I felt a thump. I set the hook and felt a solid fish. She did a few head shakes then I watched the line rise as she headed for the surface. When she broke water to jump I pulled her over with the rod and got a good look at her, a decent fish. Love to hear the drag working as she made a couple of short runs but really took off when she saw the net. A couple more runs then she ran around under the boat a bit as I stuck the rod down into the water to stop the braid from rubbing on anything sharp. She finally came out from under the boat, circled, and I pulled her into the net. The worm dropped out of the lip when I set her down... *whew* She measured 21 & 3/8 inch. A really thick wide fish packing some meat. Although I did not weigh her I believe she was 6 pounds, maybe a tad more. Ended up catching six, all on the 10" worm. A 3# was the second place bass. Not too shabby for an evening trip. 14 Quote
